Exactly. And I don't "consider" myself an independent....I've been registered as one since I got old enough to vote (I'm 67).
Why am I an independent.....because the Republican party is too liberal.
-—I’m even older and I registered as an independent and have remained so ever since. My choices were lbj or tricky dickie......??? Things have not improved any since then!! I LOVED PRES REAGAN!! Limbaugh throws independents into the same pot as this jerk. I am a radical nutball freedom loving small govt loving GOD loving conservative!!!
